초록

In this paper, I deal with the embodied process of cultural translation during the course of making the performance text of a foreign play. Upon the scientific bases of cognitive studies, regarding foreign plays, I illuminate how the director can embody the cultural meanings through the body of the actors.
I call this process ‘cultural translation through the body,’ discriminating from the textual translation process. Methodologically, from the perspectives of Enactivism, I adopt the concept of ‘enaction’ as the process of meaning making.
In the first part, I deploy the issues of text, the body-mind, the world, and the meaning.
In the second part, therefore, as the main theme of this paper, I focus on the technical processes of the cultural transition between the source culture and the target culture. For this purpose, I rely on such system theories as Dynamical System Theory, Theory of Mind, and Mead's Loop hypothesis(image-language-thought link), applying these theories into the linguistic process of embodied communication. On behalf of Dynamical System, language does not stand alone without the body, not being a closed system of symbols and ideas. Our bodies communicate with the environments and other people through the structural coupling. Multimodality of our thought is performed through the speech-gesture coupling. In this context, ‘cultural translation through the body’ is the technique to find the matching unit of the speech-gesture between the source culture and the target culture. Experiments and studies of gesture and facial expression done by Adam Kendon, David McNeill, and Paul Ekman provide a bunch of knowledge about the performance of the body.
In the last part, I apply this technique of ‘the cultural translation through the body’ into the actual processes of cultural translation in the sampling case of David Mamet‘s 『Oleanna』. I reconstrct the processes of making the performance text of 『Oleanna』, showing how I proceeded the embodiment of meaning through the making of the translated speech-gesture unit. On the working rehearsal stage, as the director, I tried the simulation of the actual performance as many as I could, discussing the cultural issues of meaning making with the artists, staff members, and the invited professionals and students participated in the pre-performance. Through this preparation, I could make the coupling of the source culture with the target culture, enacting the meaning of the production.
